Make sure the connection is good, or maybe the sensor is bad. Mines pretty finicky, if it gets low at all itll go off. Pain in the ***.

If you switched the sensor, than its gotta be a wiring issue. The wire has got to be grounding out somewhere. Find a wiring diagram, and do some continuity testing.

if it's a new sensor does it need to get broken in? Does the engine itself need more than a couple of grounds? I know that the stock grounds don't last all that long.

I think I'm having the same type issue with mine. Haven't got around to troubleshooting it though. Just curious, how much was the new sensor?

There is another connection by the power steering pump that's part of the circuit for the add coolant buzzer. Do a search - this one's been covered before, and many miss that other connection.
